What’s more, the company is demanding that a federal judge order Google to surrender the IP addresses and other identifying information (.pdf) of those who have viewed or commented about the jailbreak video on a private YouTube page. The game maker is also demanding that Twitter provide the identities of a host of hackers who first unveiled a limited version of the hack in December.

This is all cute with the streamlining and everything, but where's the service angle? Can we streamline the speeding tickets so that I can pay with my credit card when they pull me over? Can I file for defensive driving or deferred adjudication at the time I'm pulled over also? These are the tell tale indicators that the state has stepped over the line. If we're going to streamline, regardless of the constitutionality of the "onsite judge", then it better include better service for citizens, not just stronger prosecution for "criminals"
